The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what’s coming for Jaconé. The first decent surf kicks off Wednesday the 22nd, so no long wait at the start. Things go up and down over the next two weeks—some clean days, some small junk, and a couple of real gems if you’re patient.
Wednesday morning the 22nd gives you clean conditions with a north breeze blowing cross-off. Water temp is right around 72°, which is normal for this time of year. Swell is coming from the east-northeast at about 5 feet, period short at 8 seconds, but it’s clean and ridable. Combined energy is moderate (335). Not epic, but a fun session for an intermediate. Wednesday afternoon drops to about 4 feet from the east, still cross-off, energy down a bit (227), but still clean.
Then we hit a lull. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are poor—small, wrong wind, messy. Saturday morning the 25th is a different story. Glassy conditions, light northwest breeze, and a clean 4-foot south swell running at 10 seconds. Energy is moderate (325). The afternoon gets choppy again, so grab the early session.
Sunday the 26th brings longer period groundswell—14 seconds—with heights around 4 to 4 feet from the south. But the wind is onshore or cross-on, making it marginal. Energy is strong for the size (664), so there’s push, but it won’t be clean.
Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th look better. Monday morning has offshore northeast wind and a 3-foot south swell at 12 seconds. Energy moderate (364). Clean, shaped-up waves. Tuesday is smaller—about 2 feet—same direction, same clean offshore vibe. Good for a relaxed session.
Wednesday the 29th is mixed: clean morning with glassy offshore wind and a long-period 12-second south swell, but only 2 feet. Energy is low (142). Surfable but ordinary. Afternoon goes bad with a strong south wind.
We hit another dry stretch from Thursday the 30th through Saturday the 1st of August. Some clean moments but tiny swell or junk wind. Saturday afternoon the 1st has a decent energy reading (307) from a 13-second south swell, but the wind is cross-off and a fresh 18 mph, not great for clean surfing.
But Sunday the 2nd of August morning is a real standout. Clean, gentle offshore northeast wind, swell jumps to 5 feet from the east-northeast at 8 seconds. Combined energy is strong (536). Wind is right, waves have push, it’s clean. That’s the one to mark. Not huge, but proper fun for an intermediate.
Monday the 3rd is glassy again with a very long period south swell—15 seconds—but only 2 feet. Energy is still decent (397), but with that period, it’ll be lining up better and rolling through. A longboard or fish kind of day.
The real standout for the whole forecast is Wednesday the 5th of August afternoon. This is for experienced surfers. Swell builds to 7 feet from the south-southwest, period at 12 seconds, combined energy is massive at 1377—very strong. Light cross-off wind from the east-southeast keeps it clean. That’s expert territory. Thursday the 6th morning is still very solid—5 feet from the south-southwest, 11-second period, clean offshore northeast wind, energy at 770.
Bottom line: the two best sessions to lock in are Sunday morning the 2nd of August for clean, punchy chest-to-head-high waves, and Wednesday afternoon the 5th of August for the bigger, more powerful stuff. Saturday morning the 25th is also a glassy, fun session worth waking up for.

Information about the Jaconé Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jaconé provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jaconé can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jaconé surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Jaconé) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jaconé may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Jacone is 14 km (9 miles) from the city of Saquarema. If you plan a holiday in Rio de Janeiro, look for hotels and other accommodation in Saquarema. Saquarema has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
